Mayorkas FIRES 32 members of his advisory council
2021-03-28
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Mayorkas announced the shock move to 'reconstitute' the Homeland Security Advisory Council in a letter to the 32 ousted members Friday

  • He said their place on the council had ended effective immediately as he will set up a new panel in weeks

  • The DHS said it is aiming to create a council, which was mainly white men, that better reflects US diversity

  • Just three members have been kept on following the drastic purge: Chairman William Bratton, Vice Chair Karen Tandy and Chair Emeritus William Webster

  • All Trump-era appointees are gone including Ken Cuccinelli, a supporter of his hardline immigration policies

  • It marks an unprecedented move with former DHS officials saying never before have they known such a blanket overhaul to the council to occur

  • Ex-DHS boss Chad Wolf blasted it as 'not the right approach' while Rep. John Katko said it shows a dismissal of a 'bipartisan' approach

  • It comes as the Biden administration is under fire for the migrant crisis and thousands continue to make the journey from Guatemala into Mexico and north to the US each day

#3  Of course, the DHS doesn't need any advice right now. Everything is calm, no crises to worry about.

#1  Clever, self preserving move keeping those three board members on board. He just missed having his ass put in a gunny sack and dropped into the lower Potomac River. Fire Judge William Webster (Ex Director CIA), don't think Mayorkas be missed he wouldn't, he is the new kid on the block.
